Describe what you want to see in your picture. The more detailed you are the better.

Remember, the machine works on the data it has been trained on so it might not always be able to create the things you want. For example, notice how the last oryx below has hands because the data the machine has associates 'eating a sandwich' with images of hands.

Artist use different characteristics, techniques, and approaches to make their art. Imagine you're playing a game with your friends where you make up different rules for each round. Sometimes, you might decide to play a game where you have to hop on one foot, and other times, you might play a game where you have to crawl like a bear. Artistic styles are a bit like those different games. They're special ways that artists decide to make their art.

Adding an artistic style to your prompt will change the result quite a bit, try some of these styles...
